The Health & Wellbeing Board meeting scheduled for Thursday 26 February 2026 was set to cover a range of important topics concerning the health and well-being of residents in Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster. Key discussions were expected to focus on the health and well-being of children and young people, safeguarding practices for both children and adults, and updates on various health-related funds and initiatives.

Ambition One: Children and Young People's Health and Well-being

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to reviewing Ambition One of the Health and Wellbeing strategy, which focuses on ensuring children and young people are healthy, safe, and happy, and can achieve their full potential. This was to be informed by the Annual Public Health Report 2026, which places the voices of school-aged children in Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster at the centre of its findings. The report was expected to provide insights into children's lived experiences and priorities to help shape local services.

Additionally, the Local Safeguarding Children Partnership Annual Report was scheduled for discussion, detailing the multi-agency work undertaken across both boroughs to safeguard children. An Adults Safeguarding Report was also on the agenda, presenting the 2024/25 annual report of the Safeguarding Adults Executive Board (SAEB), which provides leadership for adult safeguarding across the Bi-Borough.

Better Care Fund 26/27 Submission Update

A verbal update was planned regarding the submission for the Better Care Fund for the 2026/27 period.
